Not Too Lazy

Posted on Apr 16

The blog has been quiet, but LimeSpot's been busy, picking up steam and returning to form after a raucous SXSW.  There's been a lot of work done over the past few weeks, and I'd like to highlight a few changes.

First, the covers have finally come off and LimeSpot Beta is now fully open to the public.  After a brief private beta period, we're ready to allow anybody to register and begin publishing using sites and apps.  Have at it.

One of our short term goals is to improve LimeSpot's interface, making its functionality intuitive.  In that regards, feedback is always welcome.

What's in store for the future?  Continue to expect UI improvements that will make LimeSpot even simpler to use.  We also want to highlight the social side by adding a Followers page (users who have friended you) and a user search tool. 

A bit further out... well, we have some big plans.  LimeSpot is marked for some serious growth and change, so stay tuned.

    I like the notifications. Is the idea that the notifications stack up if you get multiple like growl notifications, or will you only ever have one?

    There's only ever one, which blinks a bit when a new one arrives. I like the stackable notifications too, which Store has actually nicely implemented, but the final decision was Jorge's.
